Could The Severe Pain In Bruised Palm Be A Matter Of Concern?

Hi I slammed the car door on my six year old sons hand earlier. His hand was at the top of the door. It is slightly swollen and bruised on the top side of his palm just below the wrist. He says it is sore and especially sore to touch but has full movement in it. Should i bring him to see a doctor to have it checked? Thanks for your help

Hi....definitely he needs medical attention. Its not an emergency, but he will need xrays and evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon to check if its just a bruise or an underlying hair line fracture is there are not.
